Summary
The Immigration Services Agency has relaxed its guidelines to support the employment of foreign nationals who graduate from Japanese vocational schools, aiming to address staffing shortages in the country. Previously, foreign graduates needed to work in jobs closely related to their major to obtain the "Engineer/Humanities Specialist" residential status. The new guidelines allow for more flexibility in assessing job relevance for graduates from vocational schools recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, provided they meet certain criteria, such as offering over 300 hours of classes to help students better understand Japan.
